[Function] default arguments, member func vs. free func
by Mike Lundy 04 Nov '08

04 Nov '08

I came across a difference in behavior for Boost.Function between g++ 4.2 and 4.3, and I was wondering whether my usage was incorrect. I'm using default parameters in much the same way as the sample test.cc below. It compiles on 4.2, and does not on 4.3. I think I can see why perhaps it shouldn't have worked, but I'm just looking for a security blanket. If my usage is wrong, it might be worth a mention in the docs, since (to me) either answer is non-intuitive. g++-4.2 4.2.4 (4.2.4-3ubuntu4) g++-4.3 4.3.2 (4.3.2-1ubuntu11) boost 1.35 (1.35.0-8ubuntu1) cat << EOF > test.cc #include <iostream> #include <boost/function.hpp> struct add1 { int operator()(int x, int y = 1) const { return x + y; } }; int add2(int x, int y = 1) { return x + y; } int main() { boost::function <int (int x)> adder1 = add1(); boost::function <int (int x)> adder2 = add2; // compile error here std::cout << adder1(1) << adder2(1) << std::endl; return 0; } EOF mike@hyperion:~> g++-4.2 -Wall -Wextra test.cc -o test && ./test 22 mike@hyperion:~> g++-4.3 -Wall -Wextra test.cc -o test && ./test /usr/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp: In static member function 'static R boost::detail::function::function_invoker1<FunctionPtr, R, T0>::invoke(boost::detail::function::function_buffer&, T0) [with FunctionPtr = int (*)(int, int), R = int, T0 = int]': /usr/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:787: instantiated from 'void boost::function1<R, T0, Allocator>::assign_to(const Functor&) [with Functor = int (*)(int, int), R = int, T0 = int, Allocator = std::allocator<void>]' /usr/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:624: instantiated from 'boost::function1<R, T0, Allocator>::function1(Functor, typename boost::enable_if_c<boost::type_traits::ice_not::value, int>::type) [with Functor = int (*)(int, int), R = int, T0 = int, Allocator = std::allocator<void>]' /usr/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:886: instantiated from 'boost::function<R ()(T0), Allocator>::function(Functor, typename boost::enable_if_c<boost::type_traits::ice_not::value, int>::type) [with Functor = int (*)(int, int), R = int, T0 = int, Allocator = std::allocator<void>]' test.cc:13: instantiated from here /usr/include/boost/function/function_template.hpp:100: error: too few arguments to function

units and existing APIs
by Joseph Winston III 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I would like to use boost::units in a new application that must interface to existing APIs that do not provide templated interfaces. What is the easiest way to use these existing functions that minimizes the copying of data from raw C pointers to a container that holds a specific type of boost::units? Thanks, Jody

Trouble with vector and matrix multiplication
by Philip Goh 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hi, I'm trying to multiply a vector by a matrix. Pretty simple, but I'm running into problems as the compiler is complaining about the overloaded operator * Here's some code that produces the error. ------------------------------------------------------------------ #include <boost/numeric/ublas/matrix.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/io.hpp> #include <boost/numeric/ublas/vector.hpp> typedef boost::numeric::ublas::matrix<double> boost_matrix; typedef boost::numeric::ublas::vector<double> boost_vector; int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]) { boost_matrix mat(5,5); boost_vector v1(5), v2(5); v1 = v2 * mat; return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The error message I'm getting is : "Error 1 error C2666: 'boost::numeric::ublas::operator *' : 2 overloads have similar conversions boost_matrix_multiplication.cpp 18" I'm using Visual Studio 2008 Express and boost 1.36. This looks like a very simple problem, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Phil

[signals2][review] Fwd: Signals2 Review
by Stjepan Rajko 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I am forwarding the following review submitted by Jesse Williamson: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jesse Williamson <jesse(a)mind.net> Date: Sun, Nov 2, 2008 at 5:09 PM Subject: Signals2 Review To: Stjepan Rajko <stjepan.rajko(a)gmail.com> * Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library? Yes. * What is your evaluation of the design? Note: I only read the tutorial, and wrote my own examples as I followed along. I think this is a very nicely designed library! I like the collector interface, and the general library behavior. Note: I was going to suggest some syntactic sugar with operator overloading, but when I tried it I quickly discovered that there's a problem in determining the proper return type for something like + or +=. It isn't really needed anyway-- and, I also have since discovered that the documentation already addresses this! * What is your evaluation of the implementation? I did not examine the implementation. For the most part, things worked as I expected after reading the tutorial examples. * What is your evaluation of the documentation? Good! The tutorials are on the whole very good, and I came through them feeling like I had a good working understanding of the library. I have a few suggestions and perhaps issues, which I discuss below in more detail. I would like to see more explit examples in a few of the tutorial examples, especially those concerning connection management. * What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library? Event patterns show up in many applications, and a thread-safe version of the long-standing Boost::Signals library would surely greatly extend its usefulness. * Did you try to use the library? With what compiler? Did you have any problems? gcc 4.2.1 on AMD x86-64, I had no problems using the library, although I did run into a compiler issue with the examples as written in the tutorial, it was fixed in the packaged example file. * How much effort did you put into your evaluation? A glance? A quick reading? In-depth study? I spent a day reading the tutorial and working through the examples. I had few problems writing my own versions of the tutorial programs, and feel like I came out of them with a good working understanding of the library's use. I believe I worked through all of them. * Are you knowledgeable about the problem domain? Kinda. I've used a fair number of event-driven frameworks, but beyond peeking at it, I've never used the Signals library before. My review is from evaluating the tutorial only. --------------- Some comments and thoughts, mostly written as I went through the tutorial. Documentation: ------------- * Perhaps you should point out the location of the FAQ earlier in the synopsis. I found it at the end, but may not have if I'd been in a hurry. * ToC and main page: The first thing that I notice is that I can infer from the original copyright notice that Douglas Gregor's library appears to have been stable for a really long time! Nice work!! * Introduction: Is it really important that we know Signals2 was formerly known as thread_safe_signals? You might consider pointing this out in the introduction text itself, instead, since it becomes redundant and is more-or-less superfluous information. The introduction gave me a clear idea of what the library is for, and the general abstraction it presents. I've worked with a fair number of event-based systems, and so it already sounds like familiar territory and I felt like I got a good sense of what Signals2 is for. Tutorial: -------- * Do we need "beginner", "intermediate", and "advanced"? I'm not sure why I'm cautioned that the tutorial is not meant to be read linearly, especially since the tutorials typically (and expectedly) progressed from basic to advanced material. Readers tend to pick and choose what they need anyway, and it seemed more visually cluttering than anything. I just followed everything linerally, and did not seem to have many problems. On the other hand, if this is essentially how the documentation has been structured for years, it's unlikely there's any need to change it. * Compiler versions and preferred-form table: I wonder if, instead of maintaining a list of which compilers do support the preferred syntax, it would not be easier to just maintain a list of those which do not support it, especially since it looks to be that only broken compilers don't. * Slot ordering examples: In the intermediate example of ordering slots, I wasn't able to change the order my signal was displayed after reading the material a few times. It always came last, no matter what order I added it in. I was able to do it, but it was by using the numeric ordering I'd learned in the beginner section. In my own test program, I tried: // ... GoodMorning gm; HelloWorld hello; Newline nl; sig.connect(gm); // confused as to why this always comes last sig.connect(2, nl); sig.connect(1, hello); sig.connect(0, gm); // ok, clear why this goes first // ... ...after playing around a while, I understood what the intermediate example was explaining, and it made sense. Maybe it's a pitfall of reading the tutorial out of the recommended order, but the beginner section didn't really seem to explain to me clearly that sig.connect() is actually adding groups and not "individual" signals. (Or, perhaps I'm still confused about how it works? :>) The section where we deal with return values just feels to me like a logical extension of the behavior the beginner tutorial has just discussed, rather than as a seperate tutorial with significantly more advanced behavior-- it seemed natural to want to return values next. * Blocking tutorial: I got a suprise playing with the blocking section when an assertion was triggered: // ... boost::signals2::signal<string (string a, string b)> sig; boost::signals2::connection c = sig.connect(&revcatgoat2); if(c.connected()) cout << *sig("a", "b") << endl; // ... { boost::signals2::shared_connection_block block(c); if(!c.blocked()) { cerr << "something is wrong\n"; throw; } cout << "You shouldn't see this: "; cout << *sig("a", "b"); // SUPRISE abort()! cout << endl; } // ...continue, expecting output when block goes out of scope... ...The tutorial didn't say anything about that happening. Perhaps I was misusing the library..? It worked fine when I checked for c.blocked() again before trying to call sig(). * "Disconnecting Equivilent Slots" example: I didn't feel that the example program for "disconnecting equivilent slots" fully illustrated the library concept. Perhaps that should be made more clear in the example by disconnecting via a pointer to the same function, instead of by using the same identifier that was used to connect(), something like: // ... boost::signals2::signal<int (int a, int b), aggregate_values< vector<int> > > sig; sig.connect(&add); sig.connect(&half); // results of half() seen: { vector<int> results(sig(5, 5)); dump(results); } // Disconnect half() by using an equivilent slot: int (*ptr_to_half)(int a, int b) = half; sig.disconnect(ptr_to_half); // results of half() not seen: { vector<int> results(sig(5, 5)); dump(results); } // ... * Connection Management example: I got a small (but pleasant) suprise when I tried out the connection management: { messageSignal deliver; messageReciever *mr = new messageReciever("message reciever one"); deliver.connect(boost::bind(&messageReciever::show, mr, _1)); { messageReciever *mr2 = new messageReciever("message reciever two"); deliver.connect(boost::bind(&messageReciever::show, mr2, _1)); deliver("message"); } deliver("message"); // SUPRISE: no problem } ...after reading the tutorial section, I had expected the second deliver() call to segfault, but instead it worked nicely. I'm not really going to complain about this, but I'd expected something differently from the tutorial's explanation that it was expected to segfault. It seems reasonable to expect this behavior, given the explaination about shared_ptr<>. Indeed, calling delete explicitly produced mangled output. Perhaps extending the example to show an explosion and how track() gets around it would be worthwhile. Also, maybe it would be nice if the signal_type typedef could be included closer to its actual use in the example? * Automatic Connection Example Problem: There seems to be no get() for NewsMessageArea in the automatic connection management example, and the signature with the application operator appears to probably not be correct. I had to use: // Note second parameter to slot_type ctor: deliver.connect(messageSignal::slot_type(&messageReciever::show, mr2, _1).track(mr2)); * Compiler complaint in "Document-View" example: button.doOnClick(&printCoordinates); ...requires: button.doOnClick(&Button::printCoordinates); ...the example included in the package did not have this issue. (I implemented my own in working through the tutorial.) * Comment on "Passing Slots" example: In the "passing slots" example, Button::f() never appears to get bound. A complete example would be nice. ...on the whole, I enjoyed this tutorial and feel like I can star working with the Slots2 libray! Thanks.

Member-Function to String conversion.
by Siegfried Kettlitz 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

Hello, I'm searching for a good solution for the following problem of making a pair of a string and a pointer to a member function. --- struct foo1 { int bar1( int ); void bar2( ); }; int main() { someobject.set_string( &foo1::bar1, "foobar1" ); someobject.set_string( &foo1::bar2, "foobar2" ); string = someobject.get_string( &foo1::bar1 ); pointer = someobject.get_pointer( "foobar2" ); } --- The conversion of the string to the function pointer is possible, when the function pointer is stored in some wrapper like mem_fn. But the other way is more complicated. Since the member function pointers are each types of their own, the pointers cannot be compared and therefore cannot directly be stored in some list. Mem_fn also doesn't seem to do this job. Using some compiler dependent extension also isn't useful. Using templated overloads does work for the conversion of member function pointer to string - to some extent: --- global template for setting the string: template< typename foobar1_pointer_type, foobar1_pointer_type foobar1_pointer> std::string overloaded_template() { return "foobar1"; } local call for getting the string: string = overloaded_template<foobar1_pointer_type, &foo1::bar1>() --- But this solution has way too much overhead and doesn't provide the call in the form of "someobject.get_string(pointer)" because of the typed template parameter. It is possible to use macros to make it look better and type less, but macros are ugly and don't solve the problem properly. So does anyone know a good way to store a string-pointer-pair, so that it can be accessed by the corresponding member function pointer? The solution should work with GCC4.4 for now and can use the c++0x-extensions since i use them anyways. Kind regards, Siegfried Kettlitz

Overloading the new and delete operators

I have overloaded the new and delete operator, then I found this in the source code: // note: this should really be a member of the load_ptr function // below but some compilers still complain about this. template<class T> struct heap_allocator { #if 0 // note: this fails on msvc 7.0 and gcc 3.2 template <class U, U x> struct test; typedef char* yes; typedef int* no; template <class U> yes has_op_new(U*, test<void* (*)(std::size_t), &U::operator new>* = 0); no has_op_new(...); template<class U> T * new_operator(U); T * new_operator(yes){ return (T::operator new)(sizeof(T)); } T * new_operator(no){ return static_cast<T *>(operator new(sizeof(T))); } static T * invoke(){ return new_operator(has_op_new(static_cast<T *>(NULL))); } #else // while this doesn't handle operator new overload for class T static T * invoke(){ return static_cast<T *>(operator new(sizeof(T))); } #endif }; If I am using a msvc that this does not fail on, is there anything wrong with implementing this code, or will I get a bunch of errors or "hidden" bugs? Also, are there any plans on implementing this in a future release(I am guessing it is a work in progress issue)? Thanks in advance. /Jacob Holm

03 Nov '08

Dear list, i have a collection of big integers like this 1221868803.60525. I use this values in a Rayleigh distribution to simulate a problem. Now I will develop a application which simulate this problem. This application is time critical. It should trigger alerts. So my questions are: 1. Which lib from Boost can I use? 2. Which data type from this lib can I use for this big integer? 3. Is this lib high performance dependent? Best regards, Hakan Calim

Boost:Bind//Boost:Function -- Need some help with a constructor trying to bind to a function
by Charles Milutinovic 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I am struggling to try to get bind/function working like I want. Some code first though: 1. We have a POD object. namespace POD{ class POD{};} 2. We have another class that wants to do something with a POD*. namespace Alpha{ class MethodsInHere{ void doesSomething(POD::POD* arg0){} };} 3. We have a third class, essentially a function handler, that has a boost::function reference whose signature matches the method in #2, and a constructor which wants to set the reference. namespace EventHandler{ class EventHandler{ public: EventHandler(boost::function<void (POD::POD*)>& function): assign_to_me(function){} boost::function<void (POD::POD*)>& assign_to_me; };} 4. Finally, we have an initialization class. This class wants to instantiate the EventHandler object, and to do so needs to bind the method in #2 to pass in as an argument. POD::POD* instance = new POD::POD(); Alpha::MethodsInHere mih; EventHandler eh(boost::bind(&Alpha::MethodsInHere::doesSomething, ????, _1)) -------- My question is basically if this is possible. I was having a ton of trouble getting this to work, and after digging through some docs it seems like the '?????' in line of code in #4 needs to be a reference to eh . . . which isn't constructed yet. If I'm wrong, please tell me how to construct this bind properly. If I'm right, what sort of workaround could solve this?

Re: [Boost-users] Boost:Bind//Boost:Function -- Need some help with a constructor trying to bind to a function
by Alan M. Carroll 03 Nov '08

03 Nov '08

I would think the value in the constructor should be bind(&Alpha::MethodsInHere::doesSomething, mih, _1) When you bind a non-static method, the first argument must be something with which you can call the method. That would not be eh. Of course, you have will have lifetime or copy issues with mih, but I presume you have arrangements for that and we're just seeing some simplified code. At 02:48 PM 11/2/2008, you wrote: >4. Finally, we have an initialization class. This class wants to instantiate the EventHandler object, and to do so needs to bind the method in #2 to pass in as an argument. > >POD::POD* instance = new POD::POD(); >Alpha::MethodsInHere mih; >EventHandler eh(boost::bind(&Alpha::MethodsInHere::doesSomething, ????, _1)) > >-------- > >My question is basically if this is possible. I was having a ton of trouble getting this to work, and after digging through some docs it seems like the '?????' in line of code in #4 needs to be a reference to eh . . . which isn't constructed yet.

std-in/out communication with child process
by Michiel Helvensteijn 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi, I'd like to open a child process within my main process and send info to its stdin and get info from its stdout/stderr. It would be handy for the unit testing suite for a compiler. It would compile some source-code to a binary, start the binary as a child process and test it. Is there a way in C++ and/or Boost to do this? Thanks! -- Michiel Helvensteijn

I ran into these same types of errors when I was trying to use kruskal's minimum spanning tree algorithm. This error from your output: error: cannot convert `boost::detail::error_property_not_found' to `long int' in assignment indicates that there is a property that is not defined in your graph, but that is needed by the kolmogorov_max_flow() function. There's two options: 1) Use the internal properties, kolmogorov_max_flow() will use them. 2) Use bundled properties, you must explicitly tell komogorov_max_flow() which property is which using bgl_named_params. You've probably already noticed that the code listing here does not work (as it appears your example is based from it): http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/graph/doc/kolmogorov_max_flow.html For one thing, there's a typo in the #include line, but also it is incomplete and leads to all the errors you listed. The code listed here actually works: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/libs/graph/example/kolmogorov-eg.cpp So you might prefer to use that as a base. Of course, it uses internal properties, and the documentation indicates that bundled properties are the preferred method now. For bundled properties, you would do something like this: struct Node { std::string name; long index; boost::default_color_type color; long distance; graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor predecessor; }; struct Arc { long capacity; long residual; graph_traits<Graph>::edge_descriptor rev; }; and then call the function like so: flow = kolmogorov_max_flow(g, s, t, capacity_map(get(&Arc::capacity, g)). residual_capacity_map(get(&Arc::residual, g)). reverse_edge_map(get(&Arc::rev, g)). predecessor_map(get(&Node::predecessor, g)). color_map(get(&Node::color, g)). distance_map(get(&Node::distance, g)). vertex_index_map(get(&Node::index, g)) ); Note that each named parameter is separated by a period, not a comma. I am not able to get an error free compile using bundled properties - but by making the above changes it gets you down to about 2 errors. Maybe you can figure out the last steps (I can't). I stuck with using the internal properties because I had an example that worked, and the documentation on how to get bundled properties working with the functions is lacking.

Re: [Boost-users] Is the behaviour of the binary_from_base64intended?
by F David Sacerdoti 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

I had the same problem and came on this thread. I'm sorry but Robert's reply is missing the point: we the users want to get the job done, and in this age base64 behavior is defined by RFC 2045 and 3548. Those documents provide the answer to the problem you describe below, and the accepted behavior we want. Boost is very good, and it is unfortunate that the lines below, while elegant and purposeful, are essentially useless. ---START--- using namespace boost::archive::iterators; typedef base64_from_binary< transform_width<string::const_iterator, 6, 8> > base64_t; typedef transform_width< binary_from_base64<string::const_iterator>, 8, 6 > binary_t; ---END--- Please consider the goal of most programmers! Python does this admirably, and generally boost as well. Thanks, Federico -------------------------- Author: Robert Ramey Date: 2007-04-13 23:51 -400 To: boost-users Subject: Re: [Boost-users] Is the behaviour of the binary_from_base64intended? Here is the problem: Suppose you have 1 byte - that's 8 bits. Now you encode that into 3 bit octet + 3 bit octet + 2 bits. The last is extended to a byte so you have a 3 byte "file". now you translate back into inary. Your "file" has 3 bytes. Each byte is translated backinto binary as 3 bits + 3 bits + 3 bits - 9 bits which turns out to be 2 bytes. So our original bitstream has been extended from 8 bits to 16. In the serialization library I record first the total number of bytes and and send that first. The iterator "stack" I use to translate is terminated by a count rather than some special "end" iterator. To me this problem is inherent in the base 64 encoding scheme as I understand it.

ASIO io_service behaviour
by Philip Gaskell 02 Nov '08

02 Nov '08

Hi all, I have got some code to test the behavior of io_service. The relevant code is as follows: void ioservice_lifotest() { boost::asio::io_service io; boost::asio::deadline_timer t(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(6)); boost::asio::io_service io2; boost::asio::deadline_timer t1(io2, boost::posix_time::seconds(1)); boost::asio::deadline_timer t2(io2, boost::posix_time::seconds(2)); boost::asio::deadline_timer t3(io2, boost::posix_time::seconds(3)); boost::asio::deadline_timer t4(io2, boost::posix_time::seconds(4)); t.async_wait(printHello); t1.async_wait(print1); t2.async_wait(print2); t3.async_wait(print3); t4.async_wait(print4); io.run(); std::cout << "bleh\n"; io2.run(); std::cout << "done\n"; } printHello(), print1(), print2(), print3() and print4() are simple functions that print different messages to the console. I was expecting printHello to be called first, then print1, then print2, then print3 and print4, because that is the order the events were added to the io_service service. However these functions were called in reverse order. It is as though the underlying queue mechanism is actually a stack. I expect I have missed some of, or misunderstood the documentation, but a few hints as to what is happening will be appreciated. -- Regards, Phil E: philip.gaskell(a)momote.com | M: +44(0)7891 199 959 | W: www.momote.com EMAIL DISCLAIMER The contents of this electronic mail message and any attachments (collectively " this message") are confidential, possibly privileged and intended only for its addressee ("the addressee").

Hi, I'm a new user of boost. I have a trouble to use boost. I downloaded boost_1_36_0 and put it on directory where I prefer. To use with eclipse, I set the path.

shared_ptr leaking memory and crashing / gcc 3.4.6
by Michael 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hello, I figured that shared_ptr (boost 3.4, but I don't think this is really a boost problem) will lose memory in the following example #include <boost/shared_ptr.hpp> struct X { int y; }; typedef boost::shared_ptr<X> XRef; XRef getx() { throw 0; } int main(int argc, char** argv) { while (true) { XRef myX; try { myX = getx(); } catch(...) { } } } Compile: g++ -I/usr/local/include test.C -o test On every iteration of the while loop it loses memory and after approx. 1 million iterations it dies with signal 10 or 11. Changing that pattern to try { XRef y = getx(); myX = y; } catch(...) { } fixes the problem (I assume in that case it will call shared_ptrs copy constructor instead of its assignment operator). Platform is FreeBSD 6, gcc 3.4.6. It only happens when compiled like above (without optimization). On optimization levels 2 and above (-O2) it works ok. Maybe somebody using gcc 3.4 can check if this also happens on other platforms. gcc 4 works ok without any issues, so I assume this is a compiler problem. It might still be a good idea to put a warning in the documentation about this. cheers Michael

non-deterministic state diagram
by Andrej van der Zee 01 Nov '08

01 Nov '08

Hi, I need to calculate the non-deterministic state diagram from raw data and was wondering how boost can hep me. More specific, I have many state transition sequences (lets say up to 100-thousand) that all start at state A, such as: A -> B -> D -> B -> E A -> D -> B -> C -> B A -> E -> D -> F -> D Now I want to calculate the non-deterministic state diagram with a chance for each transition, and desirable in real-time. For example, for the raw data above, the transition for A -> B is 0.33. My question is how boost can help me: * Which library is best to represent the state diagram? * Does the library help in calculation of the state diagram from raw data? Thank you, Andrej

Hi I have to build boost::serialization library to MIPS platform using mipsel-linux-gcc, mipsel-linux-ld etc. How can I do it? Can anybody tell me what options should I change in gcc.jam, user-config.jam or other files? And it will be excellent to have the makefile like boost::regex has. Can bjam generate makefile as output? Or can anybody get me makefile for boost::serialization?

Re: [Boost-users] Problem linking boost filesystem 1_36_0 on ubuntu gcc 4.2
by Kevin Stevens 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Answering my own question. Hopefully someone can google this error in the future and fix it a lot quicker than the several hours it took me.... The problem was that I was not correctly specifying the include headers. I had entered -I/path/to/boost_1_36_0/boost not -I/path/to/boost_1_36_0. I thought I had that path right because everything was compiling. What I did not take into account was that boost 1_34_1 was installed via the package manager by the administrator of the system so the include files were automatically being picked up despite me not explicitly specifying them. The interfaces I was using did not change, but the underlying code did, hence my code still compiled, but refused to link and unfortunately spit out misleading errors. -K From: Kevin Stevens Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 5:15 PM To: 'boost-users(a)lists.boost.org' Subject: Problem linking boost filesystem 1_36_0 on ubuntu gcc 4.2 Hello, when I am trying to link boost::filesystem into my program I am receiving link errors.

Re: [Boost-users] [boost::pool] using many pools in the application
by Lang Stefan 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi, Since little help is forthcoming, here are some pointers: I did look into the pool library some time back (boost version 1.34.1) in search of a solution to some severe performance and memory management issues. In short, I was rather disappointed, for various reasons: 1. memory blocks allocated by boost::fast_pool tended to never get freed again until the end of the program, because the release mechanism was (is?) disabled. This meant my memory management problems got even worse! 2. modifying the code to enable the release mechanism didn't help - for some reason it never got called! 3. the basic method of adjusting the pool size in case it ran out of memory, was doubling it's size. This aggravated the above problems through allocating a lot more memory than was needed most of the time. In fact, when I tested it, fast_pool eventually ran out of memory at about the same time the the local member variable storing the memory increment size sufferd an overflow! I managed to fix this locally by deriving my own pool class from the existing one and overriding a method. In effect I restricted the maximum memory block size to a couple of MB. It worked for me, but wasn't sufficiently general as a fix for the library, especially as I still didn't understand all of the inner workings at that time. 4. support for the pool library seems to have been dropped several years ago, although someone did a few minor fixes a couple of months ago (I believe they were incorporated in version 1.35). Regarding your question, the general idea of the boost::pool classes are singleton pool objects that each serve any object of either a particular type (object_pool) or a particular size (all others if I understood them correctly), so depending on the kind of pool you use you get exactly one pool object per type or object size, not multiple. To fix the issues you mentioned, you (or someone else) would have to do several things: 1. fix the memory allocation so it is limited to some reasonable size (I'd suggest to add this maximumum blocksize to the parameter list either of the pool constructors or the templates) 2. fix the release mechanism. What I would do is add a usage counter to each memory block that allows for easy control of emptied blocks. They should work similar to shared pointer usage semantics. 3. Add a mechanism to monitor fill status and do some kind of garbage collection. This is where it's starting to get tricky: If you find a memory block that is almost 'empty' then you might want to shove the remaining data somewhere else - but you can't do so if someone outside your control is pointing to it! It would be possible though if you never hand out raw pointers to pooled objects, but shared pointers. But then you would need to retain a copy of each shared pointer as well. And this would be overkill for objects that take up only a few bytes each! I could go on some more - I did think about it for quite some time. But I think I already gave you a notion of what to expect. Conclusion: consider what you would need a pool for in terms of individual object size, total size, fluctuation, and so on. Then check out the boost documentation on the four pool types it provides and check whether any of the four types would match your requirements in theory. Once you're there, think again, especially in light of the missing deallocation problem: can you afford to effectively keep a chunk of memory till the end of the program, a chunk that is big enough to store the maximum amount of pooled objects and probably quite a bit more? If you can, then give it a try. If not, ...

Meaning of "unspecified" arguments (scoped_lock constructors)
by Mark Reginald James 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello, I haven't been able to discover the meaning of "unspecified" in things like scoped_lock constructor parameters: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_36_0/doc/html/boost/interprocess/scoped_loc… I'm trying to lock a scoped lock only if the mutex is not null. It looks like I need to use one of these "unspecified" constructors to assign the mutex but not lock it, so that I can then lock it in an "if" statement if the mutex is not null. I'd be grateful for any help.

[boost::pool] using many pools in the application

[graph] predecessor_recorder and VertexList=listS
by trashing＠gmx.net 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello list members, I've following graph: typedef adjacency_list<vecS, listS, bidirectionalS, property<vertex_distance_t, unsigned int, VertexContainer >, cPose> BGLGraph typedef graph_traits<BGLGraph>::vertex_descriptor BGLVertexDescriptor; with VertexList=listS, two vertex properties (distance map and a bundled property VertexContainer) and a bundled edge property cPose. Now I try to create a predecessor map with the predecessor_recorder but I'm not able to create a map that obtains the predecessor informations. I know I can't use std::vector<BGLVertexDescriptor> like the example (http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/libs/graph/example/bfs.cpp) because I use VertexList=listS. HenceI tried std::map<BGLVertexDescriptor, BGLVertexDescriptor> but this leads to another compiler error. What I'm doing wrong? greetz, Manuel -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?

[Graph] newbie to graph
by Lior Weizman 31 Oct '08

I am a newbie to boost. I am trying to build a graph and to compute the max_flow using boost/graph/kolomogorov_max_flow.hpp. Blow is my code: -------------------------------------------------------------CODE------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <boost/config.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <string> #include <boost/graph/kolmogorov_max_flow.hpp> #include <boost/graph/adjacency_list.hpp> #include <boost/graph/write_dimacs.hpp> int main() { using namespace boost; typedef adjacency_list_traits<vecS, vecS, directedS> Traits; typedef adjacency_list<vecS, vecS, directedS, property<vertex_name_t, std::string>, property<edge_capacity_t, long, property<edge_residual_capacity_t, long, property<edge_reverse_t, Traits::edge_descriptor> > > > Graph; typedef graph_traits <Graph>::edge_descriptor edge_descriptor; typedef Traits::vertex_descriptor vertex_descriptor; typedef std::pair<edge_descriptor, bool> EdgePair; typedef std::pair<int,int> Pair; Graph g; long flow; property_map<Graph, vertex_name_t>::type name = get(vertex_name, g); property_map<Graph, edge_capacity_t>::type capacity = get(edge_capacity, g); property_map<Graph, edge_reverse_t>::type rev = get(edge_reverse, g); property_map<Graph, edge_residual_capacity_t>::type residual_capacity = get(edge_residual_capacity, g); vertex_descriptor s, t; Pair edge_array[6] = { Pair(0,1), Pair(0,2), Pair(0,3), Pair(2,4), Pair(1,3), Pair(4,3), }; EdgePair edge_desc_obj; EdgePair edge_from_first=add_edge(edge_array[0].first,edge_array[0].second,g); put(capacity,edge_from_first.first,1); for (int i = 1; i < 5; ++i){ edge_desc_obj=add_edge(edge_array[i].first, edge_array[i].second,g); put(capacity,edge_desc_obj.first,i+1); } EdgePair edge_to_last=add_edge(edge_array[5].first,edge_array[5].second,g); put(capacity,edge_to_last.first,4); char str[2]; for (int i=0;i<5;++i) { sprintf(str,"%d",i); put(name,i,str); } edge_descriptor from_s,to_t; from_s=edge_from_first.first; to_t=edge_to_last.first; s=source(from_s,g); t=target(to_t,g); flow = kolmogorov_max_flow(g, s, t); return 0; } ---------------------------------------------------------------------END OF CODE--------------------------------------------------------------- The compilation output of the code above includes errors and can be found here: http://www.cs.huji.ac.il/~lweizm45/compile_output.txt if I remove the call to kolmogorv_max_flow, everyting is fine. If I replace the call to kolmogorov_max_flow with the line: write_dimacs_max_flow(g, capacity, identity_property_map(),s, t, std::cout); The output is: -------------------------------------- OUTPUT ------------------------------------------------------ c DIMACS max-flow file generated from boost::write_dimacs_max_flow p max 5 6 n 1 s n 4 t a 1 2 1 a 1 3 2 a 1 4 3 a 2 4 5 a 3 5 4 a 5 4 4 ---------------------------------------- END OF OUTPUT -------------------------------------------------- Which means that the graph was created correctly. Calling the example "libs/graph/example/kolmogorov-eg.cpp" with the dimacs output above as input, also works fine. This fact leads me to the assumption that my graph is fine. Does anyone know what is wrong with my graph when I perform a direct call to kolmogorov_max_flow? Thanks, Lior

auto_link.hpp
by Ryan McConnehey 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Currently, the auto_link.hpp helps users declare a library in their header files. For example: #define BOOST_LIB_NAME boostlibrary #define BOOST_AUTO_LINK_NOMANGLE #include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp> The header file that declares this will search the library include path for a boostlibrary.lib. This is great if all versions of one's libraries have the same name. This would mean the libraries would need to be separated into different folders. To be able to place all of the versions of a library into the same folder, one would need to turn the mangling off and search for the library. The header would then be as follows: #define BOOST_LIB_NAME boostlibrary #include <boost/config/auto_link.hpp> This means one would rely on how boost mangles the name of the library. For the most part, I don't mind how this is done, however, I would like to specify my own version number for the library. Is there a way to do this or do I need to copy the entire file into my own directory and replace BOOST_LIB_VERSION with another define for my library? Ryan

Asio Protocol Decoder interfaces/templates
by Rodrigo Madera 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hello all, I was wondering if Boost Asio has any plans to have a structure such as Apache MINA's xxxEncoder/xxxDecoder (which are for Java). This kind of interface (for those who don't know them yet) allow you to write code such as: (Warning: very bad {and simplistic} example ahead) class commands::echo : public message_decoder { somewhere("echo"); } class commands::cls : public message_decoder { somewhere("cls"); } ... class commands::exit : public message_decoder { somewhere("exit"); } class my_protocol_decoder : public protocol_decoder { ctor() { add(echo); add(cls); ... add(exit); } }; And that would give us a nice protocol decoder that we can plug into a family of "decoding-friendly" classes. Apache MINA does a great job doing this and maybe there is something that can be extracted into Boost Asio. Please tell me what you think or if I'm completely mad to want this or even if I'm asking on the wrong place. Thank you all!! Rodrigo Madera =o)

Main thread not exiting
by developer1 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Hi, I have created a thread pool library which maintains a worker thread queue and a work queue. Any Application class using this library passes functors to ThreadPool. I am using a ThreadGroup to manage all threads. I use the thread_group.join_all(), to wait for all threads to finish before the main thread exits. But on joining the threads in the thread_group, the main thread fails to exit. Am i missing something. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Main-thread-not-exiting-tp20264225p20264225.html Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

How to find: best integer type for processor
by Daryle Walker 31 Oct '08

31 Oct '08

Is there a macro and/or typedef that will tell me bit-length used for a processor and/or the best integer type for said processor? The "int" type is supposed to be that type, and it was in the 16- and 32- bit eras. (I learned C programming with the former in the... early 1990s!) However, the powers-that-be decided, for "backwards compatibility," to freeze "int" and "long" at 32 bits and use a new type, "long long," for 64 bits, which should be the optimized integer type for 64-bit processors. (If they kept to the plan, "int" would be 64 bits, "long" either 64 or 128, "short" up to 32, and the new type will be "short short" at 16.) I want to know the best type so, when I build multi-integer arrays for various purposes, I don't pick an element type that causes a slow down, whether to focus on a fraction of a register (if the chosen type is too small) to handle two registers at once (if the chosen type is too large). -- Daryle Walker Mac, Internet, and Video Game Junkie darylew AT hotmail DOT com

I'm am using boost::multi_index to hold a set of polymorphic entities. Due to efficiency concerns, I have to be able sort the container based on actual type. I was planning on sorting based on the return result of typeid. When I try this I get errors in <functional>. I am using VC++ 2005 Standard Edition SP1.

Problem linking boost filesystem 1_36_0 on ubuntu gcc 4.2
by Kevin Stevens 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, when I am trying to link boost::filesystem into my program I am receiving link errors. I am trying to convert from boost 1_34_1 to 1_36_0- previously this built against 1_34_1 without any issue. When I link I get the following error: /home/kstevens/code/CrossingEngine/../lib/libtypes.a(Config_Constants.o): In function `boost::enable_if<boost::filesystem::is_basic_path<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, boost::filesystem::path_traits> >, bool>::type boost::filesystem::exists<boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, boost::filesystem::path_traits> >(boost::filesystem::basic_path<std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> >, boost::filesystem::path_traits> const&)': /usr/include/boost/filesystem/operations.hpp:279: undefined reference to `boost::filesystem::detail::status_api(std::basic_string<char, std::char_traits<char>, std::allocator<char> > const&, int&)' I did an objdump -CT on libboost_filesystem-gcc42-mt-1_36.so and got the following two functions as output but not the one the linker appears to be looking for: 000000000000c4e0 g DF .text 00000000000000e3 Base boost::filesystem::detail::status_api(std::string const&, boost::system::error_code&) 000000000000c720 g DF .text 00000000000000e3 Base boost::filesystem::detail::symlink_status_api(std::string const&, boost::system::error_code&) Could this be a bad build? Am I missing something- perhaps I need to link another file in? I built 1_36_0 myself using a default configuration other than telling it where to put the output libs. I have ensured that I am linking against and including headers from 1_36_0, and have also made a clean build. Is there anything else I should try? Thank you, -Kevin This is my code snippet that uses boost::filesystem: //Create Directory if it does not already exist. if(!boost::filesystem::exists(reportFilePath)) { cout << "output path: " << reportFilePath << " did not exist, which may indicate a different configuration than was intended, creating directory now." << endl; try { boost::filesystem::path path(reportFilePath); boost::filesystem::create_directory(path); } catch(boost::filesystem::filesystem_error e) { cout << "Error: " << e.what() << endl; } }

non-greedy regex
by Jeff Anderson 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hello, I'm using boost's regex for a school project (they encourage us to use boost) Boost 1.34 is what is available on the school computers (unless fedora 9 promotes a newer version out of testing before Tuesday.) I'm trying to use a non-greedy quantifier in a regex. Here is an example from my code: string input=string("/blog/2008/../"); string expr=string("/.*?/\\.\\./"); string replacement=string("/"); std::ostringstream stream(std::ios::out | std::ios::binary); std::ostream_iterator<char, char> stream_iterator(stream); boost::regex pattern(expr, boost::regex::perl); boost::regex_replace(stream_iterator, input.begin(), input.end(), pattern, replacement, boost::match_default | boost::format_all); string result=stream.str(); The expected output is "/blog/". I am getting "/". I've played with different arguments to the boost::regex constructor, but I can't seem to get it to output a correct result. I did notice that in the notes for the boost regex library in 1.34 that there was a bug fixed related to non-greedy quantifiers, so I'm fairly confident that I just have a problem with my own code. A tarball can be provided with a "ready-to-compile" example snippet and test case. Then again, it could just as likely be a problem with the regular expression itself, though I checked, re-checked, and double checked that this is the correct syntax for the perl mode in the boost regex library. Thanks for any input! Jeff Anderson

Installing Boost.MPI [bjam]
by Raymond Wan 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi all, I need some help with building Boost.MPI. My system is a Debian testing (lenny) system and I'm following the instructions at [lenny uses 1.35 and not 1.36]: http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_35_0/doc/html/mpi/getting_started.html I'm using Open MPI and I can compile and run the test implementation fine (mpi-test.cpp). So, I moved to the next step on configuring and building. My bjam is 3.1.16. I copied user-config.jam to my home directory, with the line "using mpi ;" added at the end. Then, I ran "bjam --with-mpi" in the "top-level Boost directory" [*] and I get this error: error: no Jamfile in current directory found, and no target references specified. Firstly, I'm not sure if I have everything installed... But I also don't know what the "top-level Boost directory" is. I've tried these locations: /usr/share/boost-build/ /usr/share/boost-build/build/ /usr/share/boost-build/tools/ [it had an mpi.jam file in it] /usr/include/boost/ And also replaced "using mpi ;" with "using mpi : /usr/bin/mpic++ ;". I'm currently trying this as root user, so I don't think root privileges is the problem. (bjam came with a "Hello World" example and that compiled fine; so I don't think it's something wrong with bjam.) Any help would be appreciated... Thanks! Ray

Question about Protocols and boost::asio::ip::tcp::iostream
by Charles Milutinovic 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

I am trying to put together a program that needs a very simple networking component, esentially just dumping a lot of data from iostreams into a socket, unformatted, and tcp::iostream looked perfect for it. I have a question about its usage though. Every example I've seen looks something like tcp::iostream s("server", "protocol"). So far I've seen "http" and "daytime" as protocols. I am wondering exactly where these constants are defined. Also, for my purposes, how hard would it be to extend a previously defined protocol (i.e. telnet) since all I really need to do is connect to a port of my choosing and dump data.

[serialization] Assertion failure with shared_ptr cycles
by Ult Mundane 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, I'm hitting an assert when I deserialize cycles of shared_ptr<>s. I have the following class hierarchy: Base <-- Derived Other Derived holds a shared_ptr<Other>, and Other holds a shared_ptr<Base>. I have an instance of Derived that points to an instance of Other, which in turn points back to the Derived instance (as a Base pointer). The serialization goes as expected. On deserialization, however, the Base::serialize() and Derived::serialize() are called repeatedly, crashing after the third time -- Other::serialize() is never called. This problem only happens when the cycle includes a pointer to a base class -- a straightforward a -> b -> a cycle works as expected. Has anyone else experienced this or found a workaround? It happens in both boost 1.36 and 1.37.0 beta1. I'm using gcc (3.3.5, 3.4.6, and 4.3.2). Thanks, Ult P.S. Attached is the source code illustrating the above example.

Bug or feature? date_time::microseconds limitations?
by athor 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

The boost::date_time::microseconds(...) constructor overflows the int64 size limits in intermediary calculations. The code below will reproduce the error (using VC++ 2008 and boost 1.36). ptime start(boost::gregorian::date(2000, 1, 1)); ptime end(boost::gregorian::date(2000, 5, 1)); time_duration td = end - start; ptime wrongEnd = start + microseconds(td.total_microseconds()); BOOST_CHECK_EQUAL(end, wrongEnd); The microseconds constructor takes an int64 as input and the total_microseconds is well within its range. Inside the date_time::subsecond_duration<time_duration, 1000000> the internal duration is calculated as ss*traits_type::res_adjust()/frac_of_second Since the both res_adjust() and frac_of_second have the value 1000000, the result should be ss*1 but... the intermediary value ss*res_adjust overflows the int64 causing a negative number to be returned. Question is, is this by design or is it a bug? I'm rather new to boost::date_time and was hoping to replace our current datetime types with it. We are using millisecond timestamped data over long time series (years). I guess the simple solution would be to add parentheses around (res_adjust()/frac_of_second) assuming frac_of_second always divides res_adjust. However, there are similar issues when adding 200 years worth of seconds which overflows the int32 argument (but that's not of my immediate concern). -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Bug-or-feature--date_time%3A%3Amicroseconds-limitatio… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

boost.python / bjam
by Mark Williams 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, is it possible to build boost.python such that the python version gets embedded in the .so name along with the compiler name, version, multithread flags, etc? For example, "libboost_python25-gcc41-mt-1_35.so" instead of "libboost_python-gcc41-mt-1_35.so" Alternatively, is it possible to build it without the embedded SONAME so that it can be renamed afterwards? Thanks in advance, Mark

Using Asio's ICMP support
by David Smith 30 Oct '08

30 Oct '08

Hi, Sorry if this is a silly question, but in Asio's ICMP support, what portion of an ICMP packet will an application supply when sending? What portion of an ICMP packet will an application retrieve when receiving? I get the impression that the whole body of the ICMP packet is supplied/retrieved (only an IP header with the ICMP protocol is prefixed). Is that the right impression? Thanks, David

mutex Locks!
by Wesley Khandavalli 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Dear all, i am new to threading. i want to know the following. Given a shared object which is accessed by more than one process, where should we implement the mutex locking? Is it in the shared object or in the critical section of the Processes? If locking is done in process, will it work having different names for the locks in the processes? class A { .......... ........ public: execute() { ......... lock(mutex1) //write data to shared object unlock(mutex1) ......... } }; class B { .......... ........ public: execute() { ......... lock(mutex2) //write data to shared object unlock(mutex2) ......... } }; SharedObject { ........... .......... }; -- Wesley K

program_options: one-of-set option format
by Ivan Godard 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

The boost::program_options library appears to lack the capability for one-of-set options, i.e. one of -a, -b, or -c, but not more than one, returned as an enumeration value in a common result for all the options. Currently I have a function: template<typename T> options_description& oneOf(options_description& od, std::vector<std::string>& names, T& t); which adds options for all the names to "od", with notifiers that update "t" with the "T" enumeration value corresponding to the particular option that the parser finds present using the ordinal position in "names" as a value. However, this is somewhat unsatisfying because detected errors (missing or too many choices) don't feed into the program_options reporting system. It also does not fit with the rather nice syntax used by the program_options library for option declarations. I also looked at using an external parser as supported by program_options, but this seems low-level overkill - you get a raw string to parse, but none of the nice facilities for abbreviation, long or short forms, etc. are usable. Lastly, I considered adding the capability as a native feature of program_options, but while the library is reasonably clean it doesn't seem to be designed to support any inter-option linkages as required for reporting the result and verifying that only one of the set was present. So the question for this list: am I reinventing the wheel here and this oneOf capability already exists somewhere? If not, is there a better approach than my present purely extra-library solution? Thank you Ivan

boost bind conflicting with socket bind
by Sharad Mittal 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello, My Socket code that contains call to "bind" to a port is conflicting with boost::bind in 1.36. It compiles fine under boost 1.34 and 1.35. Interestingly, nothing is included from boost in that file. I am using boost with mingw on Win Xp. The code snippet is as follows: int Socket::BindPort(int family, int address, int port) { sockaddr_in sa; int dwError = RERROR_SUCCESS; memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(sa)); sa.sin_family = family; sa.sin_addr.s_addr = address; sa.sin_port = htons(port); if (bind(s_, (sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(sockaddr_in)) == SOCKET_ERROR) { dwError = RERROR_SOCKET_BIND_ERROR; LOG (LOG_ERR, "Could not bind socket to port %u", port); BAIL_ON_ERROR (dwError); } error: return dwError; } Here is what I am getting...

[Serialization] Runtime checking of types in deserialization
by Frank Winklmeier 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hi, is there any way to check whether the class type used in deserialization is identical to the class type in the serialization? Below is a simple example, that serializes class "Data" into a text archive and deserializes this archive into class "StringData". If that happens I would like an exception to be thrown. Is this possible? Thanks for any help, Frank #include <boost/archive/text_oarchive.hpp> #include <boost/archive/text_iarchive.hpp> #include <iostream> #include <sstream> using namespace std; class Data { public: Data() { for (int i=0; i<100; i++) a[i]=i; }; int a[100]; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int) { ar & a; } }; class StringData { public: StringData() {}; string s; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int) { ar & s; } }; int main() { ostringstream oss; // Serialize the class const Data d1; { boost::archive::text_oarchive oa(oss); oa << d1; } // Deserialize it using the wrong type StringData d2; { istringstream iss(oss.str()); boost::archive::text_iarchive ia(iss); ia >> d2; } cout << oss.str() << endl; cout << d2.s << endl; } Output: ======= 22 serialization::archive 4 0 0 100 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 80 81 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36

Boost.Date_Time Enhancement - Load of Time Zone Database via istream
by Sönke Schau 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

Hello, in Boost.Date_Time there is a function to load the Time Zone Database from a File. The function load_from_file takes a string as parameter which contains a local filename to load the Database from. It is sometimes desirable to load the Database from another source than a local file. To support this i suppose to add a function load and alter the existing load_from_file in the following sense void load( std::istream& ifs ) { string_type in_str; std::string buff; if(!ifs){ throw data_not_accessible(); } std::getline(ifs, buff); // first line is column headings while( std::getline(ifs, buff)) { parse_string(buff); } } void load_from_file(const std::string& pathspec) { std::ifstream ifs(pathspec.c_str()); if(!ifs){ throw data_not_accessible(pathspec); } load( ifs ); } BTW: The documentation local_time.html incorrectly states that load_from_file returns a boolean. Best regards Sönke Schau

Re: [Boost-users] linking to boost signal library
by Raphael 29 Oct '08

29 Oct '08

I'm having exactly the same problem. I'm trying to include boost libraries signals and regex into a 64 bit project. I guess the answer is, that the downloaded libraries are not compatible for 64 bit builds, therefore the linker errors. I believe you need to compile 64 bit versions of the libraries, but I'm new to boost myself... Actually thats what I'm working on right now.

Generic Image Library and premultiplied RGBA
by David Warkentin 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I am trying to take advantage of the convolution capabilities of the GIL (with the numeric extension of course). I have some text that I render first using Cairo and then I pass the raw image data along to the code I'm using with the GIL with some simple glue code. This much of my code works great - I can write out a PNG using png_write_view after handing the data off to the library and it contains the rendered text as I would expect. There is a problem I've encountered, however, where the anti-aliasing pixels of the white text I have rendered against a transparent background appear dark and the blurred part of the text after convolving the image is also dark. I'm pretty sure this is due to the fact that the raw RGBA data I pass along already contains premultiplied alpha from Cairo. I'm guessing that the data is treated as if the alpha has not been premultiplied. I've been trying to figure out the best way to handle this situation and have had very little success in getting anything to work. I have recently been attempting to try one of the 2 things listed in this mailing list post by Lubomir Bourdev where he gives an example of approaches one could take to handle premultiplied RGBA data: http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2006/10/112532.php. No matter what I try, however, I just keep getting endless compile errors and am probably going about it all wrong. Right now I've been trying to do something where I create types to represent premultiplied RGBA data: namespace boost { namespace gil { struct premultiplied_rgba_t : public rgba_t {}; typedef layout<premultiplied_rgba_t> premultiplied_layout_t; typedef pixel<bits8, premultiplied_layout_t> premultiplied_pixel_t; typedef image<premultiplied_pixel_t, false> premultiplied_image_t; } } ...so far this has just resulted in compile errors and I can't even begin to work on any kind of custom color conversion sort of thing that uses this new type yet (though actually I tried to once and couldn't make it work either). I'm guessing that what I need to do is either unmultiply the RGBA data first or I need to somehow get the library to work correctly with the premultiplied data. Can anyone help me figure out how to make this work? David Warkentin

boost graph library with gcc 4.2 and later
by Moti Freiman 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi All, I'm a newbie to boost and have a storng interest in the graph algorithms in boost. I tried to run both kolmogorov and edmund-karp examples and got many warnings due to deprecated conversions in the read_dimacs function When I tried to run these examples I got segmentation faults. Other simple program (from boost homepage) that I tried to compile and run, run well. Is there any known issue about using boost with gcc 4 and later? Thanks, Moti -- __ Moti Freiman, Ph.D Student.

Building boost_1.34.1 on mac os X 10.5 64 bit.
by Alain Leblanc 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

I'm trying to build boost 1.34.1 on mac os X 64-bit. In a previous thread someone(Vladimir Prus) gave the following suggestion: ========================================== You need to pass architecture=x86 address-model=64 in addition to the above to bjam, or you may pass architecture=combined address-model=64 ========================================== and it looks like it was fine with boost 1.36. However when I try with boost 1.34.1 I get the following message: libs/test/src/execution_monitor.cpp:1: error: CPU you selected does not support x86-64 instruction set If I remove the achitecture=x86 option then it compiles, but the resulting libraries are not 64-bit, base on the output from file libbooost-XXX.dylib. Is there anything in the 1.34.1 version preventing me from compiling in 64-bit mode? I'm using gcc 4.0.1. Thanks, Alain

[multi_index] doing insert() within iteration over equal_range() result?
by Prometheus Prometheus 28 Oct '08

28 Oct '08

Hi all, i have the following problem: i use multi_index like this std::pair<Plugins::pEvents::index::type::iterator,Plugins::pEvents::index::type::iterator> range; range = this->events.get().equal_range(boost::make_tuple(event,condition)); while(range.first!=range.second){ // CALL an event handler! this->callEventHandler(range.first); // << this shows just how it works, its not exactly my code ++range.first; } within the callEventHandler and its called functions its possible that the event handler wants to register new events which results to this: this->events.insert(eventdata); The problem is OR can be, that the insert modifies the indices which modify the range.first iterators and thus a ++range.first results in an invalid "next" element this makes sense and i think most of you know this and had this problem already Questions: Does anyone have a good idea/solution how to solve this situation correctly so that the range i received will be valid? i thought about using a second multi_index which holds the newly inserted events and after the WHILE it gets moved to the original events index, but this solution only moves the problem from one index to the second which helps a bit but doesnt really solve the problem, since i could miss newly inserted events another solution i thought of is like this range = ....equal_range(...) ; while( range.first!=range.second ){ Plugins::Event &ev = (Plugins::Event&)*range.first; // get first event if(ev.alreadycalled == false){ ev.alreadycalled = true; // this element doesnt have an index and so it shouldnt invalidate the iterator/index (right?) callEventHandler(); range= ...equal_range() ; // reinitialize the range and begin to search again! } else{ ++range.first; } } but the above solution gets slower the more events are available thx all _________________________________________________________________ Explore the seven wonders of the world http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=7+wonders+world&mkt=en-US&form=QBRE

Problem calling bellman_ford_shortest_paths
by Tim Keitt 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

I'm prototyping some code that exposes an edge_list iterator interface to a database cursor. I've defined a forward_iterator using iterator_facade and can use that to create an edge_list graph. I'm running into a problem however calling bellman_ford_shortest_paths on the graph. I get boost_bellman_ford.cpp:18: error: no matching function for call to 'bellman_ford_shortest_paths(Graph&, position_t&, edge_weight_map, long long int*, double*)' The code leading up to that looks like: position_t N = getNumVertices(); edge_iterator iter; DEBUG_MESSAGE("Contructed iterator"); Graph g(iter, iter.end()); DEBUG_MESSAGE("Constructed edge list graph"); std::vector<double> distance(N, std::numeric_limits<double>::max()); distance[0] = 0.0; std::vector<position_t> parent(N); for ( position_t i = 0; i < N; ++i ) parent[i] = i; boost::bellman_ford_shortest_paths(g, N, edge_weight_map(), &parent[0], &distance[0]); The edge iterator is linked to the database cursor on construction. The problem I am guessing is in how I define the edge_weight_map. It looks like struct edge_weight_map { typedef cost_t value_type; typedef cost_t * reference; typedef edge_t key_type; typedef boost::readable_property_map_tag category; }; boost::property_traits<edge_weight_map>::value_type get(edge_weight_map map, boost::property_traits<edge_weight_map>::key_type key) { return key.cost; } It makes no sense for me to repeatedly query the database for the edge weight, so I attach it as a third field in the edge_descriptor. The get function merely returns the third component of the edge struct. I'm sort of assuming the way I am defining the edge_weight_map is the problem. Any insights? Also, I noticed the simply constructing the edge_list graph traverses the entire iterator range. Is there some copying going on? Can I override this behavior? THK -- Timothy H.

Reusing IOService Object
by Tim Pynegar 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hi, I'm having an issue starting then stopping and trying to restart a socket or rather the IOService that's being used to service that socket. The IOService and Socket are member's of my class that has a run method itself that is on a separate thread. In my class constructor the Socket is passed into the IOService constructor. The sequence is as follow's Socket.Open Socket.Bind Socket.async_recieve_from Thread Start ------ IOService.Run Socket.Close IOService.Stop ( the thread terminates due to the IOService.Run method completing ) Socket.Open Socket.Bind Socket.async_recieve_from Thread Start ------ IOService.Run This then return's immediately due to a "stopped" long in IOService ( on windows ) being set to 1. So my question is really am i trying to use these in the wrong way as in should i construct a new Socket and IOService for each time i want to start them or is there some way to reset the IOService to it's original state beyond calling IOService.Stop. Thanks, Tim.

[test] testing protected/private methods out of test suits
by M. Siebeneicher 27 Oct '08

27 Oct '08

Hello boost-users, I tried to test protected/private class methods by declaring the test-case-class as a friend of the class-to-test. The test-case-class is defined by the macro BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE(T, F). That works fine as long as I encapsulate the test-case with BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(suite_name) and BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END(). I'm not able to define the correct friend declaration, cause the compiler . Can someone give me hint, please? the code looks like this: // test-case-class.cpp namespace foo { namespace bar { BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE(suite_name) struct F { class-to-test class_to_test_instance; } . . . BOOST_FIXTURE_TEST_CASE(test-case-class, F) { F.class_to_test_instance.i; . . . } . . . BOOST_AUTO_TEST_SUITE_END() }} class-to-test.cpp namespace foo { namespace bar { . . . class class-to-test { public: friend struct test-case-class; // that's wrong // No access to protected member i friend struct suite_name::test-case-class; // this is wrong, too: compiler error, can't find foo::bar::suite_name, .... protected: int i; . . . }; }} greetz, modbom -- GMX startet ShortView.de.

Used bjam to compile the thread libraries. bjam --build-dir "D:\bin.v2" --with-thread --toolset=gcc --build-type=complete stage Then, added "boost_thread-mgw34-mt-d-1_36" to the link libraries. Verified that the linker can find the library. Yet, still getting these errors. Any pointers would be much appreciated.

[fusion] fused_procedure vs. fused_function_object
by Jeff Flinn 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

It appears the only difference is that fused_procedure has a void result type regardless of the adapted function's result type, where as fused_function_object's return type is that of the adapted function, is that true? What are the advantages of using fused_procedure, as it appears in my usage that fused_function_object can be used in place of fused_procedure? Awesome lib by the way! Thanks, Jeff

Installation issue: cannot pass the last test in tutorial,
by Minh Anh 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hi, I'm a novice here. Sorry if this issue has been posted already. I've searched the archived in the mailing list, and did some searches by google, but couldn't find anything relevant. I've just tried to install boost library to use with Visual Studio 2005. I followed all the steps indicated in the tutorial "getting started on Windows". Everything seems to work fine until the last step, section 6 "link your program to boost library". I did copy/paste the example in this section, and follow the instructions for the configuration. Then I built it with success. However, when I tested the program with the command line like suggested in section 6.4, but it failed. It keep saying that "the system cannot execute the specific program". The command line I used is: "C:\Documents and Settings\A_M\My documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\example\debug\example.exe" < "C:\jayne.txt" is this right? Btw, in doubt of a wrong step somewhere, I tried another tutorial that I found on internet at step 1, http://www.quantnet.org/forum/showthread.php?t=2221&page=2 (it's supposed to install boost for VS2008, but I thinks it should be not much different). However it didn't fix the problem. Moreover, it made the boost folder increase from around 900Mb to 8.9Gb???? Something must be wrong? Help me please, Sorry for the long post and many thanks in advance, AM. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

[Python] Setting Python version in Visual Studio
by Tryptik 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

I am using boost 1_34_1 and the python module is using Python 2.5. I need to tell it to use 2.4. With bjam, there is a using directive that will link it to 2.4 - is there a pre-processor definition I can use to do this in Visual Studio? I know the boost python docs recommend using boost::jam to build python projects, but I inherited this one from someone and I do not know enough bjam to put it together quickly. Thanks -J __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com

BOOST_CLASS_VERSION compiles on MSVC2005, but not on gcc
by professor rumsdiegeige 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Hello, I've got a problem using BOOST_CLASS_VERSION on gcc. The following minimal code example class CHeader : boost::noncopyable { public: CHeader() {PosX_ = 1.0;}; friend class boost::serialization::access; template<class Archive> void serialize(Archive & ar, const unsigned int version) { ar & PosX_; }; double PosX_; }; works for me both on gcc and on MSVC2005. However, if I add BOOST_CLASS_VERSION(CHeader, 1) then the code only compiles on MSVC2005, but not on gcc. GCC complains about an incorrect syntax here, without being more specific. What am I doing wrong? Thank you for your help, Regards S. Lorentz __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

does Boost.MultiArray work with Boost.MPI?
by Tom Smith 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

Dear All, I am trying to write some parallel code using Boost.MPI? I also want to use the class Boost.MultiArray. My question is: does Boost.MultiArray support parallel computation? If not, which class should I use instead for multi-d array operations. Thanks a lot! best wishes Tom

[ublas] bounded_vector redundant storage of size. (is this a bug?)
by johanngoetz 24 Oct '08

24 Oct '08

for small vectors (geometry vectors is what I have in mind) the bounded_vector and bounded_matrix look promising. Indeed, if I was only dealing with a handful of vectors at a time, this would be ideal. However, I am creating a fieldmap (of a magnetic field, say) which maps 3D vectors (position) to 3D vectors (the field). The likely size of this map is around a million points. This should correspond to 6 million numbers stored. However, if I have something like: std::map< ublas::bounded_vector<int, 3>, ublas::bounded_vector<float, 3> > Then the size is actually 8 million numbers stored since I am storing the size of each of the bounded_vectors. While access time to the map is still very fast, I find that reading in or creating such maps takes much more time than should be required. It seems to me that the advantage of having the size as a template parameter is: not needing to store it as a member variable. Therefore I would like to say this is a bug (do I have agreement?). Unfortunately, the only solution for ublas::bounded_vector I can think of would be a complete reimplementation of ublas::vector just with the size as a template parameter instead of a member variable. but maybe I don't know enough to suggest the proper way to handle such situations. Of course the same applies to ublas::bounded_matrix but the effect there is not as big and it is hard to imagine off-hand a huge array of matrices. --- Johann -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/-ublas--bounded_vector-redundant-storage-of-size.-%28… Sent from the Boost - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

XML optional field
by Emanuele Rocci 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi AllI would like to build a configuration file for my application in XML.The Configuration files includes also optional sectionsi.e. there might be properties that are not required to be defined by the user. If I use BOOST serialization to load this file, the XML format seems to me that forces every field of the XML field to be REQUIRED. Do you know if with Boost serialization for XML there is some mechanismallowing or handling optional Xml field?

Boost 1.36 portability issues on FreeBSD 6.x?
by Alexander Sack 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello: I have a FreeBSD 6.1 amd64 box and I'm running into various issues building boost on my platform. In no particular order: - libboost_prg_exec_monitor checks for a lot of optional signal codes (execution_monitor.ipp file) that FreeBSD 6.1 does not support AND FreeBSD 7 supports somewhat. I'm talking about the XSI codes for SIGCHLD, SIGILL, etc. in my /usr/include/sys/signal.h (amd64 tree but is also a problem on my x86 branch): e.g. #define ILL_ILLOPC 1 /* [XSI] illegal opcode */ #define ILL_ILLTRP 2 /* [XSI] illegal trap */ #define ILL_PRVOPC 3 /* [XSI] privileged opcode */ #define ILL_ILLOPN 4 /* [XSI] illegal operand -NOTIMP */ #define ILL_ILLADR 5 /* [XSI] illegal addressing mode -NOTIMP */ #define ILL_PRVREG 6 /* [XSI] privileged register -NOTIMP */ #define ILL_COPROC 7 /* [XSI] coprocessor error -NOTIMP */ #define ILL_BADSTK 8 /* [XSI] internal stack error -NOTIMP */ #define CLD_EXITED What's the best thing to do here? I've actually compiled against FreeBSD 7's signal.h just to get me through this but the fact is the kernel (trap.c) does not set these codes. Will this cause Boost to crap out on me during runtime? If so, is there a workaround since this seems like a real bug in portability? - SIGPOLL is not defined, its SIGIO (I can work around this) - The Boost build when doing its standard tests sets up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH on my box as: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/lib:/usr/lib32:/usr/lib64 - ICU for FreeBSD is in /usr/include/local which causes the build.jam stuff to miss autodetecting it On a 64-bit machine, adding /usr/lib32 BREAKS not only the test but most natively compiled binaries - I had to move /usr/lib32 and rename it for some of the tests to work (like boost_std_no_locale) etc. I started a thread on Boost-Build but got no replies. I'm just wondering how portable the latest release of Boost is on FreeBSD? Btw, there are several files I had to patch within boost to even get it to build relatively far (and I haven't tried python support just yet). The current BSD port is 1.34 and has been that for a long time (there was a 1.35 release at some point in beta testing) but I would like to update it to 1.36 but need some guidance on the above. Any guidance would be much appreciated... Thanks! -aps

[phoenix] or [lamdba] Operating on containers of smart pointers.
by Raindog 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I ran into a problem while cleaning up some old code. What I wanted to do was replace explicit for loops with some stl algorithms or BOOST_FOREACH. Below is the original function: |//in header file: ..snip typedef std::vector<Loki::SmartPtr<ADTChunk> > chunk_vec_t chunk_vec_t chunks; ..snip //in source file: uint32_t ADT::get_connectivity_data( std::vector< std::vector<uint8_t> > &output ) { output.resize(chunks.size()); for(chunk_vec_t::iterator it = chunks.begin(); it < chunks.end(); ++it) { uint32_t success = (*it)->get_connectivity_data(output[it-chunks.begin()]); } return TRUE; } I asked on a separate website for some possibilities of replacing this code with boost::lambda, and the following almost correct suggestion was given to replace the loop: ||std::for_each( chunks.begin(), chunks.end(), bind( &chunk_vec_t::value::type::get_connectivity_data, _1, output[ std::distance( _1, chunks.begn() ] ) ); The problem is that the above obviously does not compile, so I made some changes and came up with this: ||std::for_each( chunks.begin(), chunks.end(), bind( &chunk_vec_t::value_type::StoredType::get_connectivity_data, _1, output[ std::distance( &_1, &chunks[0] ) ] ) ); The problem with the above is that "||&chunk_vec_t::value_type::StoredType::get_connectivity_data|" causes the VC9 compiler to crash =( So I made this change: |std::for_each( chunks.begin(), chunks.end(), bind( &ADTChunk::get_connectivity_data, _1, output[ std::distance( _1, chunks.begin() ) ] ) ); But now I get an error with the call to std::distance not being able to discern the arguments due to ambiguity. Next I thought that I might be able to use zip_iterator to assist in dealing with both of the containers, and then I realized it used tuples, which then made me thing that extracting the iterators from the tuples is going to take a lot of boiler plate code itself. Which led me to settle with the following code that is concise and easily readable but will only work if chunks is a vector essentially: BOOST_FOREACH(chunk_vec_t::value_type it, chunks) { output[std::distance(&it, &chunks[0])] = it->get_connectivity_data(); } So, my final question is, given my above attempts, is there a way to do what the 1st and 5th(the one immediately above this line) code snippets do in a straight-forward manner using either boost::lambda, or, since it will be replaced eventually by phoenix v3, with phoenix v2? Thanks! | | |

Asio timer - how to restart it?
by Peleg 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello, I'm writing an Asio based serial port communication application. I've tried to use Asio timer as receive time out timer. The implementation consist of restarting the timer each time the receive event is called, , so it'll trigger only after time out duration with no receive event. The problem is that when I try to restart the timer, using expires_from_now(), the timer immediately triggers. I've written a simplified code that demonstrate this problem: #include <iostream> #include <boost/asio.hpp> #include <boost/thread.hpp> #include <boost/date_time/posix_time/posix_time.hpp> using namespace std; using namespace boost::posix_time; void delay(int sec) { boost::posix_time::ptime expire_time = second_clock::local_time() + boost::posix_time::seconds(sec); while(second_clock::local_time() < expire_time) ; } void on_time_out(const boost::system::error_code& ) { cout << second_clock::local_time() <<" Time out!" << endl; } int main() { boost::asio::io_service io; cout << second_clock::local_time() << " Starting timer" << endl; boost::asio::deadline_timer timer(io, boost::posix_time::seconds(5)); boost::thread thread(boost::bind(&boost::asio::io_service::run, &io)); timer.async_wait(on_time_out); delay(3); cout << second_clock::local_time() << " Restarting timer" << endl; timer.expires_from_now(boost::posix_time::seconds(5)); delay(12); return 0; } This code results the following output: 2008-Oct-23 13:22:59 Starting timer 2008-Oct-23 13:23:02 Restarting timer 2008-Oct-23 13:23:02 Time out! As you can see to on_time_out() is called immediately after expires_from_now() call, with no actual time out. How do I restart to timer in the right way?

question on boost::interprocess
by Markos.Perrakis＠tsx.com 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I have created a shared memory segment with the boost::interprocess library and have created and populated a boost::interprocess::map in that segment. The key for the map is the boost::interprocess::string class. If I want to search for an element in the map I obviously have to supply the key for the element. Here is what I do: { std::string key; // assign here a value to key string object const Char_Alloc char_alloc( (shared_memory_segment_obj.get_segment_manager() ) ); boost::interprocess::string some_string( char_alloc ); some_string.assign( key.c_str() ); } where Char_Alloc is a suitable shared memory allocator for plain characters. As you can see from the code the key (the some_string object) for the map is created in local memory (in-process memory) but the contents of the string are allocated in shared memory. If two threads access this shared memory segment and execute the above code at the same time, is this thread safe? Will the two concurrent assign() statements use the same location in shared memory and cause overlaps? Or is the shared memory allocator smart enough to synchronize the two assign() calls and execute them sequencially? In case the shared memory allocator is not smart enough to guarantee synchronization can I use a boost::interprocess mutex for thread synchronization?

Boost.Asio uses not specified WSAGetLastError
by Yakov Olkhovskiy 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

I just have found that Boost.Asio returns wrapped WSAGetLastError code even on successfully executed ::connect (didn't check it for other functions). There is a problem with Norton Personal Firewall - looks like it performs some operation after successful connection and doesn't restore error variable in the DLL. As result on a second (and further) program's run WSAGetLastError returns code 2 (The system cannot find the file specified). After removing record of the program from "Norton Internet Security->Norton Internet Security->Personal Firewall->Program control" list, the program works once and then again returns error on further runs. Actually it looks like as an Asio fault, because WSAGetLastError is not specified on successful function execution.

[Graph] Dijkstra algorithms checks edge weight is positive: loss of generality ?
by Tristram Gräbener 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hello, I'm not very familiar yet with all boost::graph internals, but there is something that bothers me: I use a special weight_map (cost functions of my own), providing my own distance_combine. So WeightMap::value_type is CostFunction and DistanceMap::value_type is float The dijkstra algorithm checks if an edge has a positive weight ( boost/graph/dijkstra_shortest_paths.hpp lines 121 & 122 with version 1.36.0). However, it uses the distance_compare parameters where "argument types that match the value type of the DistanceMap property map" So it tries to compare my cost function against a float (which of course is not possible). Of course this test garanties the optimality of the algorithm, but it restricts the use to have the weight_map and the distance_map of the same type. Did I miss how to use custom weight_maps, or is it some special case that wasn't thought of ? For now I just commented out the check Thank you ! PS: a more general optimality condition is (sufficient, but I'm not sure if it's necessary) : the combine function has to be non decreasing : for a node u, and edge e = (u,v), the distance_map d and the weight map w distance_compare(d[u], distance_combine(d[u], w[e]) ) has to be true

Hi, The program below this email does not compile with gcc 4.1.2. g++ (GCC) 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) Copyright (C) 2006 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I understand that I should ask on the gcc mailing list first, as gcc says it is own bug. But I want to make sure it is not become the typeof package uses some too advanced compiler features. Can somebody let me know if the following code can be compiled by a more recent version of gcc or some other compiler?

Using parse_config_file from program_options
by Arthur Carlsson 23 Oct '08

23 Oct '08

Hi! When I try to use the parse_config_file() function from the program_options library I get a link error saying (built on OS X 10.5): Undefined symbols: "boost::program_options::basic_parsed_options<char> boost::program_options::parse_config_file<char>(std::basic_istream<char, std::char_traits<char> >&, boost::program_options::options_description const&, bool)", referenced from: _main in main.cc.o ld: symbol(s) not found Taking a closer look at the code I discovered that the function is declared as a template in boost/program_options/parsers.hpp but is defined in boost/libs/program_options/src/parsers.cpp. Is this really valid? I've thought that templated functions need to be defined along with the declaration as the template arguments need to be evaluated at compile time. Or am I missing something? Thanks in advance! Arthur
